The Box
Too many gins in Dublin town stumbling around the cobblestones looking for you
What a mess I was for you
Got my girlfriends by my side some of them were more ride than die
But that's alright
Cause I made it out of that town and I'm not turning back now
Got my eyes on the horizon I can't see any clouds
In the box where they put me it got so suffocating
In that box with your dirty things I found a new meaning
It goes like
I bet you when they see me now the same old lies try track me down
But I'm stronger now
Strange men in strange apartments the strangest thing is
I didn't leave them but I'm wiser now
Cause I made it out of that town and I'm not turning back now
Got my eyes on the horizon
Darling don't drag me down
In the box where they put me it got so suffocating
In that box with your dirty things I found a new meaning
It goes like
Mmmmmmmmm
Life goes like
Mmmmmmmmm
And all the space I didn't take up
And the ways you tried to make up for the times I was never good enough for you
Three years of therapy it took to unpack all the damage that put me through
And it goes like
Mmmmm
Life goes like
Mmmmmmmm
In that box where they put me it got so suffocating
In the box with your dirty things I found a new meaning
Cause I made it out of that town
I made it out of that town
I made it out of that town
I made it out of that town (Try catch me now)
I made it out (Try catch me now)
(So suffocating)
(So suffocating)
What a mess I was for you
Got my girlfriends by my side some of them were more ride than die
But that's alright
Cause I made it out of that town and I'm not turning back now
Got my eyes on the horizon I can't see any clouds
In the box where they put me it got so suffocating
In that box with your dirty things I found a new meaning
It goes like
I bet you when they see me now the same old lies try track me down
But I'm stronger now
Strange men in strange apartments the strangest thing is
I didn't leave them but I'm wiser now
Cause I made it out of that town and I'm not turning back now
Got my eyes on the horizon
Darling don't drag me down
In the box where they put me it got so suffocating
In that box with your dirty things I found a new meaning
It goes like
Mmmmmmmmm
Life goes like
Mmmmmmmmm
And all the space I didn't take up
And the ways you tried to make up for the times I was never good enough for you
Three years of therapy it took to unpack all the damage that put me through
And it goes like
Mmmmm
Life goes like
Mmmmmmmm
In that box where they put me it got so suffocating
In the box with your dirty things I found a new meaning
Cause I made it out of that town
I made it out of that town
I made it out of that town
I made it out of that town (Try catch me now)
I made it out (Try catch me now)
(So suffocating)
(So suffocating)
